I’m originally from Baltimore (yes, I am a huge Ravens and Orioles fan!) and I currently live in the Boston area with my husband, my son, and a very naughty Bassador puppy named George. I also have two amazing adult step children who impress me every day.

I’m a proud alumna of Newcomb College at Tulane University, and New Orleans is my happy place. I have a Master’s Degree in Child Development from Tufts University and a Photography Certificate from Boston University’s Center for Digital Imaging Arts. Most recently, I received certification for special needs portrait photography from Special Kids Photography of America, where you can find me and other certified photographers near you.

Professionally, I’ve worn a lot of different hats- teaching assistant, educational textbook editor, special needs program coordinator, reading tutor, and of course, photographer. I love to ski and scuba dive, and I often dream that I am flying. Little surprise, my spirit animal is a sea turtle.

My given name is Marcie Schein, which translates to “a shining,” or “a brightness.” Most of the time I have a smile on my face, and, growing up, a lot of friends called me “Sunshine.” That always made me smile even more. Calling my business Sunschein Photography made perfect sense, and it still makes me smile.
